Flux-Associated Luminous Domain Events (2025–2026): A Structured Environmental Flux Index (FEI) Analysis Wherein Results Are Consistent with the SP3 Framework Prediction of Substrate Conditioning and Flux-Associated Memory Effects

This Zenodo-style report presents the results of a pre-registered survey evaluating associationsbetween luminous orb/ball-lightning events and environmental flux variables. Thirty screenedluminous-domain cases (2025–2026) were compared to 30 matched control observer-opportunitysamples. A Flux Environmental Index (FEI) was calculated using public datasets (lightningclimatology, infrastructure density, aviation/maritime corridors, fault proximity, and transmissionnetworks). Results demonstrate a statistically significant elevation in FEI among luminous casesrelative to controls (mean FEI case = 8.4 vs. control = 5.7, Wilcoxon p < 0.05), supporting thehypothesis that luminous-domain events preferentially occur in higher-flux environments.
